Supply Chain Policy

SUPPLY CHAIN POLICY

As one of the world’s leading advertising, communication and media groups, Dentsu Aegis Network has significant impacts through its supply chain. The DAN-wide CSR programme, known as Future Proof 2020, identifies our supply chain risks and provides a framework to manage those risks, opportunities, aspects and impacts appropriately. Future Proof 2020 is supported by a set of ambitious and public commitments.

OUR TARGET

We will achieve 100% compliance with our Supply Chain Charter Principles by 2020.

OUR GOALS

We have set 4 goals that all contribute to the overall 2020 target:

• Set a baseline for our supply chain volumes, emissions and social characteristics;

• Reduce the purchasing volume of our supply chain by 25% per person;

• Reduce the emissions associated with our supply chain by 25% per person;

• Increase the social responsibility of our supply chain by 25% per person;

• Involve our suppliers and partners in order to leverage the positive impacts of our supply chain programme;

• Aim to work with either locally based (<25 miles), small-or medium-sized or minority-owned businesses, for an appropriate proportion of our supply chain, spread across all key services and products;

• Comply as a minimum with all relevant supply chain legislation and regulations including the Modern Slavery Act, the UK Bribery Act and all other applicable legislation;

• Undertake due diligence of our suppliers to ensure (i) they employ appropriate vendors (ii) all working and pay conditions are in accordance with applicable laws (iii) a suitable working environment is maintained (iv) no labour is provided against an individual’s wishes and (v) that suppliers conduct their business in an ethical manner, and are not involved in any bribery, kickbacks or provisions of gifts, favours or services to gain a competitive advantage.

BREACHING OUR POLICY

Failure to comply with our policy will result in immediate termination of all current and future dealings with a supplier.

DOCUMENTATION AND INSPECTION

All suppliers will be required to maintain and file such documentation as required to demonstrate compliance with this policy and must make such documents available on request for inspection.
